The Race to Beat Trump

I have to admit that I'm perplexed and to be honest, a bit amused. Why you ask? The Republican Primary and race to defeat Donald Trump. I've never seen anything like this and I've been involved in politics for a very long time. This is much more than just an attempt to dethrone a frontrunner. It goes far deeper than that. There is an organized and concerted effort by both the Democrat and Republican Establishment to defeat Trump before the May 17th Primary, and if they can't do it then, the GOP party boys seem intent on using "small print" convention rules to deny him the nomination.

As a few political observers have noted, a party nominee isn't determined at the conventions by the candidate with the most delegates(i.e., who the people want). The nominee is chosen by the party leadership, who may, at their discretion, ignore the wishes of the voters through the use of so-called "super-delegates", which were built into both parties by-laws in ensure control, along with more than a little backroom intimidation and bribery. I think this is something most voters were unaware of previously; that their vote doesn't necessarily mean anything, which seems to play right into Trump's hands since part of his campaign has been about just how corrupt both political parties are.

Almost from the outset, the GOP leadership, the candidates themselves, the corporate media (including several at the once conservative Fox News), and naturally, the Oligarchs who now run this country, have been behind a no holds barred campaign to belittle, bully, distort, and harass Trump and his supporters. We would expect this from the Left leaning wing of the corporate party, the Democrats, and the Left leaning (but corporate controlled) media, but not from the those on the Right. We've even had candidates try and team up against Trump, such as Carly Fiorina, Marco Rubio, John Kasich, and Ted Cruz in various configurations. When did that last happen? Just recently, Ted Cruz and John Kasich, who is still nominally a candidate though mathematically eliminated, publically agreed to join forces to work against Trump. A few days ago, after losing all four races in the same night, Cruz, acting "as if" he was the party's frontrunner, announced that former candidate Carly Fiorina was going to be his choice for Vice President. Seriously? Cruz has no chance of catching Trump at this point, so why is he announcing Fiorina as his running mate? Is he counting on the party boys to engineer his nomination? Is this a "Hail Mary" effort to pick up at least a few more delegates so he doesn't look so bad going into the convention? Is it to deny Trump the opportunity of asking Fiorina (though doubtful) to be his running mate?

Then there are all the protestors showing up all of sudden at Trump rallies. Again, when was the last time that happened? I'm reminded of the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago, when there were a large crowd of anti-war protestors down the street and the Chicago Police were given approval by then Mayor Bill Daley to go ape on the protestors, which spilled over into the convention itself and police "thugs" went after a few reporters and camera crews they disliked (the incident later became known as the 1968 Chicago Police Riot). A lot of people were seriously injured by the Chicago cops; something which I think they have yet to live down. Now, we have individuals sneaking into Trump rallies, trying to shout down speakers, start fights, pushing people around, tearing up signs, and whatever else they can to do. It reminds me of the ways the Nazi "SA" or Brownshirts, the Italian Fascist Blackshirts, and the Communists used to do back in the 1930's (as did corporate hired thugs to break up union meetings); anything to disrupt, embarrass, or intimidate their opponents. The corporate media presents the disturbances "as if" it was all Trump or his supporters fault by cherry picking what they say and how they edit the footage. No wonder people don't believe the corporate media anymore.

Recently, the violence has increased. We have protestors breaking through police barricades and attacking Trump supporters, throwing bottles, rocks, tearing down signs, blocking entrances and even trashing police cars and assaulting police officers. Of course, the corporate media bends over backwards to blame Trump. All of this is, naturally, to create a negative image of "The Donald" and keep supporters away, all in an attempt to sway voters to Cruz or at the very least, get them to lean to towards Hillary should Trump get out of the Primary with the GOP nomination. What they've accomplished, however, is in making themselves look like punks. In fact, I think we've long passed giving them the legitimacy of calling them "protestors", which implies at least a measure of order. What we are witnessing aren't "protests". These are political riots like what you would expect to see in Third World countries or places with dictatorships who order opponents and their supporters to be harassed (Paraguay and Egypt come to mind). Is that what we've become? Is that how our political system functions how?

In just the past few days, we've seen thousands of these "political rioters", including hundreds of apparent illegal immigrants and others with dozens of Mexican flags, breaking through police and security barricades, overturning police cars, burning the US flags, violently attacking individuals who simply came to hear Trump speak---leaving several beaten and bloody, blocking traffic for miles (which has become a favorite tactic of late); forcing Trump and other speakers to cross a footbridge, cut through a fence, and come in a side door...to his own event! Even during the worse of the riots of the 1960's and 1970's, this never happened, not at least to this degree!

What all this says to me is less about Trump and his message, and more about what the Oligarchs who run this country are afraid of. What is it about "The Donald" that inspires such fear on the part of the powerbrokers and their pawns? Is it the fact that Trump has enough money to fund his own campaign and isn't beholden to them; doesn't have to make any special deals? Is it because he is actually a political outsider, and not one of the usual insiders who pretends to be "one of the people" and will "stand up to the special interests in Washington"---that is, until the election is over (the only "standing up" they do is when their paymasters walk into the room and that's because many are too old thanks to gerrymandering and the absence of term limits to be able to get off their knees).

Ted Cruz and others like him like to pretend he's not one the Oligarchs' minions, just like all the rest in Congress. It's part of the game. They try to convince the American People they are "different"; that they really represent the interests of the ordinary Americans, just don't look to close at their records or who they get their money from. These are the vetted and pre-approved candidates who will do as they told, without question or conscience. They will foment wars, economic downturns, labor and social unrest, challenge traditional family values; whatever is required of them just so long as their Overlords, the Oligarchs, make a profit and enlarge their control. After all, control is the name of game, be it control over resources in some far flung nation or here at home. It's also control over us. We're are necessary liabilities. The more control they can exert over us, through control of the economy, our workplace, our credit ratings, social norms, and most of all, our privacy, the more they can maximize their profits and minimize their risks by manipulating and anticipating our actions and reactions. They control our elections through pricing ordinary---and perhaps more qualified---individuals out from the get-go. They buy who they want, thanks to Citizens United, and keep them for as long as they want, with thanks to gerrymandering and no term limits. It's how we went from being a democratic republic to a neo-fascist nation with an emerging police state. Welcome to the Machine boys and girls.

Perhaps all this is what frightens the Oligarchs the most about Donald Trump. He's unscripted, which makes him genuinely popular with ordinary Americans across the political spectrum. He's self-financed, so no backroom "sell-your-soul" deals. He's a actual outsider, not a Kool-Aid drinking Democrat or Republican follows party dogma over the Will of the American People (what a novel concept). He's willing to think outside of prescribed boundaries or act in pre-approved ways. He's willing to do what the American People want, not just either make empty and meaningless promises or simply ignoring us altogether. He will not take a stand, but make a stand, regardless of whether its popular with the 1% elites or not. Personally, I haven't been a particular fan of Donald Trump through the years; a bit to brash for me. However, if the Oligarchs, their corporate media, the K Street moneymen, the party boys on both sides are willing to go to this extent to degrade, belittle, harass, intimidate and bully, burn vehicles, attack and beat innocent people up, blocks highways and streets, assault police officers, burn American flags, bring out illegal immigrants, then there must be something they are terrified of and if that's the case, then Trump must be on the right track and that's someone I think we need to get behind.

Is Donald Trump Trying to Throw the Election?

Let's face it. There hasn't been this much interest in a Republican Presidential Primary in forever. It seems everyone knows who the leading GOP candidate is and everyone has an opinion (and usually quite a strong one). The Democrats and the corporate media see "The Donald" as akin to the Antichrist. Someone who could derail the Empress-in-Waiting, by which I mean of course Hillary Clinton, and keep her from fulfilling her "destiny". After all, she was previously delayed in fulfilling her place in the sun by the "Chosen One" himself; the messiah....Barack Obama, who rose like a rocket from local obscurity to national distain.

Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders has proven he's no fluke...or flake. Bernie has become the voice of America's new favorite child, the Millennials. Back when a no name candidate with no experience from Chicago, Barack Obama, first ran for president, the Millennials were still coming of age. They hadn't quite found their political footing and like youth down through history, supported the "anti-establishment" candidate, along with significant numbers of minorities in America which included gays and women. But was that really unexpected? Just look who the Republicans had put up...John McCain. Sure, for a Republican he was maverick; a military hero from a lost war which produced very few national heroes, but for the country as a whole he was just another rich old white guy from the political class. In 2008, it was an obscenely rich white guy whose finger was more on his hemorrhoids than on the pulse of the American Public, Mitt Romney.

The Millennials are more experienced now. More sure of themselves as a political force and Bernie Sanders represents the kind of change the Millennials want to see. However, Bernie has two key factors which I don't think he can overcome. The first is the fact that the corporate powers-that-be who control American politics want, for some unfathomable reason, to complete the crowning of Hillary Clinton as the first female president of the United States. This means the media, which is owned by these same powerbrokers, will do everything possible to make sure that happens. It will build her up. It will downplay or hide her many flaws and possible treasonous or criminals acts, it will inflate or manufacture her accomplishments, and make it appears that her coronation is everything but a fait accompli. The second handicap facing Bernie Sanders is Bernie himself. While Bernie has shown himself to quite energetic, he's no Spring chicken and sooner or later, his age will catch up to him. Bernie also lacks the charisma, good looks (not that Hillary scores any points here either), and engaging speaking style which are critical in today's politics. Perhaps a third problem, which is connect to the other two, is a lack of sufficient money which is the life blood of politics.

While the corporate media unquestionably supported Obama in 2004 and 2008 just as they now do Clinton, let's face it, they didn't have to do much heavy lifting when it came to McCain and Romney. Now comes Donald Trump. Known to many simply as "The Donald". A classic New York real estate mogul. Brash. Cocky. Exuding confident, and rich--some of it inherited but much of it self-made. Someone not afraid to take chances or speak his mind. A one man publicity machine. He is entertaining. He says exactly what the majority of the American People are thinking, and most importantly, he is primarily self-funded; something candidate's have wet dreams about. But to the oligarchs who now rule this country, that is something to be feared. They can't cut off his financial tap so to speak. He can buy time on TV, the radio, and the Internet at his leisure. He can afford to hire the very best experts from policy to media. He can't be excluded from the presidential debates because he has the money to make sure he can't be ignored. What scares the oligarchs the most I think is that he is a unscripted candidate. He's not "pre-approved". He's not been vetted. He's not "packaged". He's not a "cardboard" candidate. They can't be sure he'll follow the script or do as he is told, and I strongly suspect this keeps them up at night.

At first, many in the media (especially at Fox News), thought Trump as some novelty candidate; something of the comic relief before the "serious" candidates take the stage. In fact, other candidates such as Ted Cruz often remarked that it was time for the "circus to leave town" or for the "court jester to get off the stage". When that didn't work they started pressuring Trump; assuming it couldn't take the heat. They were wrong. Then they started trying to bully or intimidate him. Big mistake. Then they started trying to tag team him where everyone would gang up on him in order to force him to quit. Well, it ended up that most of them had to quit or back off, but not before forcing out those who wouldn't go along like Dr. Ben Carson, starting with the Cruz campaign lying about Carson quitting a race on election night and calling voters to get them to switch their support to Cruz. It was damage Carson couldn't recover from. Rubio even tried to strong arm Trump and ended up out on his kiester.

Throughout all of this, the media did everything it could to make Donald Trump look unbalanced, a fringe candidate, a racist and a crackpot. Even the commentators at the presidential debates, who are supposed to be neutral, targeted him. Lately, various Leftwing and race oriented groups have been starting fights at Trump rallies. Storming the stage, attacking pro-Trump supporters, trying to shout speakers, blocking road and highways, blocking entrances to buildings, hitting vehicles, and threatening violence while the media does its upmost to put the blame on Trump and his supports. It political spin at its best...or worse in this case. This not only shows just as seriously the powerbrokers don't want Trump as the Republican nominee and how seriously they see him as a real threat to Hillary Clinton's coronation, but just how badly the political system itself is broken beyond repair.

No matter who wins either the GOP Primary in May or ultimately the general election this November, politics in America won't be the same although it may take the media and party hacks to realize it. I believe the Republican Party has done irreparable damage to itself and I wouldn't be in the least surprised to see it implode and perhaps fracture into a third party. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party has shown itself to be the party of the Establishment and not of the people. Trust in either party, as well as the media and government in general have been in a sharp decline in this country for decades, I believe we will see an even sharper decline just before and certainly after the general election. As it is, voters have been leaving both parties in droves for years. Independents how represent the largest political bloc in the US with 43% and hold a large lead over the Democrats with the Republicans trailing in distant third place. Yet despite this, the media still continues to act as if we have only two choices---their pre-approved and scripted Democrats or Republicans. That must stop. We do have other choices and we must prove it time and again until they finally get it. We won't be blindly led or manipulated anymore.

This brings me to another point; one which could demonstrate just how seriously things have gone awry. Donald Trump has been running as the "anti-establishment" candidate throughout this race thus far. He has hit just about every cord, but there's increasingly something just not right. For some reason, Trump, whose campaign is under enormous pressure from the media, both parties, and the powerbrokers, have been making some serious mistakes. Just recently, Trump said in an interview with "Hardball's" Chris Matthews that he thought women who had abortions should be criminally prosecuted while the men who got them pregnant had no responsibly. He's made some unflattering comments about former candidate Carly Fiorina (whom I personally like) and Fox's Megyn Kelly (he also made some less that complimentary remarks about Whoopie Goldberg and Rosie O'Donnell, though I suspect he was probably justified). He's also made statements insulting some the leaders of our allies, about building a wall to keep illegal immigrants out and making Mexico pay for it, about his willingness to use nuclear weapons against ISIS and other terrorists (while it shouldn't be ruled out, just at least be downplayed a bit), he stated that we should export "more jobs", plus China, Putin, the Pope, Mussolini and the list goes go. He's even made some particularly rude comments toward some of those attending his rallies. True that either Trump or one of his cheerleaders almost immediately stepped in a correct or "clarify" what Trump meant to say, but it is still happening too often.

This makes me wonder whether "The Donald" is a little more nervous or stressed than he lets on and is mishearing the question or confusing what he intended to say with what he was coached to say or is even thinking a question ahead and not really paying attention. Regardless, it's providing fodder for the very media out to get him and for Hillary Clinton's camp who are looking past Bernie Sanders and to her potential opponent in the Fall campaign. Trust me, should Trump win the Republican nomination in May, this will come up again (and again) this Fall. All this brings me to a central point---could Donald Trump be actually trying to throw the election? Let's think about that for a moment. Most everyone on the Left and Right (including the media) thought Trump's entry into the race was a farce; another publicity stunt by "The Donald". They thought he'd come in, make a few points, stir up the pot and leave. But that didn't happen. He actually started getting backers, and not just from the so-called "lunatic fringe" of the Far Right, but from ordinary conservatives who were tired of a broken Republican Party; from Tea Party and Pro-Constitution supporters, as well as from moderates who were purged from both political parties, and from Independents. To paraphrase a quote about General George Patton's run to the Rhine in World War II, give Trump a headline and he's good for another 30 days.

Perhaps suddenly, he thought he could actually win this and went into his hyper-competitive "win at all costs" mode for which "The Donald" is world famous. Then, perhaps just as suddenly, Trump realized that (yikes), he really could win this, then what? He wouldn't have support from either party, and certainly not the leadership. The oligarchy who controls the government would ensure that his initiatives are defeated or watered down and in the end, he's powerless and publically humiliated. That's something Trump's ego just couldn't stand. So he starts doing and saying things that are increasingly outrageous (either intentional or subconsciously) to cause him to lose supporters and ultimately the nomination.

He could always claim that he was the strongest candidate; he held the lead throughout the race; he gave voice to most Americans, but was declining the nomination for the "good" and/or "wellbeing" of the Republican Party and the conservative movement in the United States. It gives him the acclaim he lives on and makes him look like the good guy to the status quo powerbrokers. This would avoid a brokered convention which could force another unsuccessful run by Mitt Romney. The nomination would likely go to Ted Cruz and some other pre-approved Vice Presidential party boy (or gal). In the end, Cruz would likely lose to the "Empress" and the coronation would proceeded as planned all along while Trump's run fades into a election cycle anomaly; a lesson to anyone who challenges the machine.

Of course, I could easily be wrong. Maybe he is simply misspeaking or maybe he is actually saying what he really thinks, but if I'm right, it would certainly make sense in light of what's been happening with the Trump campaign, and let's not forget that he had a long private meeting with senior GOP leadership on March 31st; the very leadership that he has so often spoken out against. It would also makes sense in light of just how far this country has fallen; of how much our elections and the candidates are bought and paid for; and just how truly broken the system is. Perhaps the spotlight has become too bright even for "The Donald" himself.

The Refugee Crisis

1.5 million. That's the number of Middle Eastern "refugees" Germany is expected to take in this year. 800,000. That's the number of "refugees" Germany had agreed to accept in 2015. In an official internal memo, German authorities expect between 7,000 and 10,000 illegal crossings per day just between October and December. Turkish authorities have detained approximately 50,000 additional "refugees" who were trying to make their way to Germany at a cost of $7.5 billion thus far while the European Union, the United Nations and other international aid groups have promised Turkey just $412 million to offset their cost. Turkey has, thus far, absorbed just over one million migrants compared to Lebanon's 1.4 million and Jordon's 1.1 million, and Obama has increased the number of Syrian "refugees" he wants to bring in from 2000 to 10,000 for the fiscal year which started in October; this, despite recent events in France and Germany.

Meanwhile, in Austria, an average of 13,000 of these individuals enter the small nation every day. The situation has become so bad, that Austria has had to impose sealed border for the first time since the end of World War II. The situation isn't any better in the Czech Republic, Bosnia, Serbia, Greece, or any of the other Eastern European and Balkan countries. England, already saturated with Moslem refugees from Northern Africa (mostly Somalia and Etruria), has agreed to accept an additional 20,000 more over the next five years. France, which already has a large Moslem population, mainly from North Africa as well, says it's willing to take approximately 24,000 more and has indicated it may accept further migrants. Italy has seen an influx of around 110,000.

In Scandinavia, Sweden has accepted 75,000 compared to Norway, Finland, and Iceland, who've accepted 15,000 each (recently Iceland, which has a population of roughly 300,000, has said it could accept a further 10,000). Denmark, like Finland and Norway where the majority of citizens oppose accepting any more immigrants, has taken in only a nominal number of refugees. Along with the influx of these refugees, has been a dramatic increase in often violent protests, especially in Germany, over "insufficient" or "free" housing (furnished of course), color TVs (seriously. In fact, there has been several reports of hunger strikes because they were provided with black and white TVs instead of color TVs or weren't provided with a cable or satellite connection), immediate access to guaranteed jobs, as well as demands for "free" medical care, clothing, food, as well as a stipend for living expenses.

In addition, there has been demands in Bavaria to end Oktoberfest as well as serving of beer or pork products (and we all know how Germans love their beer and sausage). Just recently, German school girls have been asked not to wear skirts or shorts in order not to "offend" Moslem students. Further, German high school students have asked to "volunteer" to clean Moslem refugee camps and apartments, as well as do their laundry and other domestic chores. Failure to "volunteer" may result in a mandatory one year service in the German military.

But what has proven worse of all has been the number of gang assaults, rapes and murders of women throughout Europe, but predominantly in Northern Germany, Holland, Belgium, and Scandinavia. Current statistics show that since in influx of Moslem "refugees", one in four Swedish women will likely be raped. In the capital of Stockholm, there was an average of five reported rapes during this past summer (77% of all rapes are committed by Moslems males). This marks a 500% increase while half of all rapes committed in Denmark were by Moslem males, mainly from Iraq and Afghanistan. In Norway, 100% of all "aggravated rapes" were by committed by mainly Somali Moslem males. But Moslem males aren't apparently the only ones guilty of violent attacks. There has also been an increase in physical assaults by "gangs" of Moslem women on other women whom they view as not being adequately dressed (one was on a French female sunbathing with two friends) or behaving in a "immoral" manner.

Records indicate that the majority of the refugees are from Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, South Sudan, Eretria, Somalia, Libya, and a smattering of other countries throughout the Middle East and parts of Africa. In terms of their religion, approximately 96% are Moslem, and yet the most persecuted groups, namely the Syrian Christians, Yazidis (a Christian-Kurdish community), and Kurds, have been limited to just around 3%. In 2003, there were approximately 1.2 million Christians living the area around Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq for the last two millennia--the oldest continual Christian presence in the world. Today, that number is no higher than 250,000 (and only about 150 families in Syria). Of the thousands of Yazidi families seeking refuge, only ten families have been granted asylum. The question is why?

Republican Senator and Presidential candidate Ted Cruz recently purposed admitting refugees based on their level of imminent danger.

If this policy was in already in place, the majority of the refugees would be the Syrian Christians, Yazidis, and Kurds; the majority of whom have been murdered in the thousands by ISIS and other Moslem terrorist groups. How many of you remember hearing about the 40,000 plus Yazidis---men, women, and children---being forced to outrun advancing ISIS troops who closed on their home in Sinjar in August 2014? It was only through heavy aerial bombardment by the US and other coalition forces that allowed them to escape into the nearby Sinjar Mountains, along with some fleeing Christians. Meanwhile, the Kurds were pressured by ISIS from one side yet the Turkish troops refused to allow them to cross into Turkey on the other side (in fact, the Turks actually fired on fleeing Kurds trying to make it to safety on the Iraqi/Turkish border), placing them between a deadly pincher. Ultimately, after bitter fighting, the Kurds were able to turn back the attacking ISIS forces.

Since the outset of the war in the region, thousands of Syrian Christians, Yazidis, and Kurds have been murdered---most often beheaded or crucified---while thousands of others, mostly women and children, have been repeatedly gang raped, beaten and sold into slavery (5000 to 7000 women and children in October of 2014 alone according to some reports). A lucky few are periodically ransomed off. With the international community doing what it can, albeit slowly, most of these Syrian Christians and Yazidis are left to the mercy of Sunni Moslems for protection. However, that's not a guarantee of safety with some Sunni Moslems who are also often the victims of ISIS, have cooperated with these terrorists by betraying Syrians Christians and Yazidis.

Who are these Syrian Christians? Syrian Christianity is part of the East Orthodox Church (also known as The Church of the East), which was established very early in the 1st century and slowly, between the 1st and 3rd century, began to replace the ancient Zoroastrianism and pagan religions in what is now Lebanon and Syria, thus making the Christian communities in these areas among the very first. As the faith grew, more adherents ventured to the East, into modern Iran and Iraq. This became the Assyrian Christian Church, so named after the ancient kingdom of Assyria while others, including Thomas the Apostle, preached in India. A few even eventually made their way into parts of China. This became the Chaldean Christian Church. Meanwhile, some of these new believers went westward, into Egypt to establish the Coptic Church.

The Yazidis are an ancient people related to the Kurds who occupy northern Iraq, and parts of northwestern Iran and eastern Turkey. Some argue that it is the Kurds who descend from the older Yazidis; separated by geography and resulting changes in cultures and religion (the Kurds are mostly Moslem). The Yazidi are a religious minority with a belief in a monotheism which incorporates elements of Zoroastrianism and ancient Mesopotamian religions. Because they have continually refused to convert to Islam, they have been severely persecuted by both Sunni and Shiite Moslems for centuries. There has been a loose cooperation between these groups in aiding one another in order to avoid the wrath of Moslem zealots seeking to "purify" the region.

So, the question we need to answer is why isn't Europe, or at least the United States, not doing more to remove these Syrian Christians, Yazidis, and Kurds from harm's way? We know they are prime targets of ISIS, Al-Qaida, and al-Shabaab. Why is our focus on Moslem refugees? As recent events have proven, the risk of these Moslem "refugees" being associated with terrorist cells are pretty good while the risk for these persecuted peoples is minimal at best. It would make much more sense to save these people who at least have a religious, and therefore a moralistic connection to the people of Europe and America from what is obvious genocide if they remain. We must do all that we can to bring pressure on Washington to refocus their attention while there's still time.
